️🇾🇪🇾🇪🇸🇦 - A military official told the media in Yemen that Yemen's armed forces have launched a large-scale flank operation spanning 60 kilometers across rugged mountainous terrain. The maneuver extends from the mountains of Kahub and al-Makatira towards Khor Omirah in the district of Lahij.
The source claims that intense clashes during the operation resulted in human and material losses to military formations supported by Saudi Arabia, forcing them to withdraw from Dubab Airport, the outskirts of Kahub, the vicinity of Bab al-Mandab and al-Saqiya.
According to the reports, the retreat stretches along the coastal strip from the fronts of Bab al-Mandab and al-Mudaraba to the areas beyond Khor Umira and the Haraz mountains. According to the source, the operation secures the eastern perimeter of the Bab al-Mandab strait and establishes control over a strategically important depth from Makhoub to Khor Umira.
